There is already a deb (or was it an alienated rpm?) for the shared
version in skype site. I've experienced some problems registering a new
user with the shared version, so I got the statically linked one and
created a deb. I don't know which solution will be better for most
users, I guess we have to do some testing here. But hey! we can't
distribute de damn thing! Has anyone contacted skype about this? A
official representative of the project must officially ask for the
permission of distributing the program.
